MECM SRPS #2 2017: Early Modern Islamicate Histories
This set of papers brings together research on the great Muslim empires of the early modern world. The studies by Rachel Barton and Dylan Russell were written in Dr. Timothy J. Fitzgerald’s “HIST 341: History of the Ottoman Empire” course during the spring of 2016. Connor Hamel’s paper was produced in Dr. Shah Mahmoud Hanifi’s “HUM 252: Global South Asia” course in the fall of 2016. The authors were asked to set their work in conversation with current scholarship, use primary sources where possible, and consider global contexts and comparisons. The papers were accepted and revised after a blind review process, involving three faculty experts in each case.
